Help me to do it by myself

For children

MEfA Montessori School is a fully inclusive school for children of all abilities and learning styles. 

​Our children are free to move and work within an atmosphere of order, made possible by gentle rules and absorbing didactic (learning) materials.​

Classes

For families

Research shows that very early indications of learning difficulties are best resolved by interventions at an early age.​

​Most parents attend our classes with their children - as a result they are in a very good position to reflect on our activities and develop similar opportunities at home.

​​All of our teachers in all of our classes are either MEfA Montessori graduates, or are currently studying for the MEfA Montessori post graduate certificates. We also welcome a number of professional Interns to MEfA Montessori.

IN FOCUS

Our Forest School

Our new Forest School and Well-being Area, which is situated immediately behind Montessori House, on Siebert Road, was partially funded by a grant from the Neighbourhood Growth Fund in early 2019.

Our lovely landlord, Ben, rebuilt the yellow brick wall and fence, and refurbished and reroofed the garage area which is now our ‘Discovery Room’. One of our fathers, Marius from Geo Contracts, was contracted to build the dividing fence, kit out the Discovery Room and build the Montessori Hut in the yard.

Everyone got involved in developing the garden and forest areas; parents, teachers, trustees and students raked 1000 litres of wood chip, which was swung into the yard by crane! They rolled out and secured the grassy areas, laid the forest floor complete with fir cones, the beach and the tadpole pond.
​
They also built the ‘tree pits’ – lovely wooden benches which surround our trees, some of which have been sponsored (we have other trees still open for sponsorship!). 
​
The children played as we worked and we noticed that they wanted to get involved with tools, especially hammers, to wheelbarrow wood chip and compost around, ride on the trolley and really loved ‘working’ with their parents.

Happy People

"I have a four-year-old daughter who's been diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. She has been attending the MEfA Montessori Moles After-school Nurture Group at Montessori House for quite a few months and the difference in her since she started going is substantial."

​"I am really glad I found this group and I am sure many more people would benefit from it were they to know of its existence."
